Injury Fremantle 2023 Injury Thread

[Piggy Smalls]

The Lobb injury will give Meek a decent opportunity to cement a spot in the 22 ,He was drafted as a Ruck / Forward.
Lobb hasn’t produced much for us anyway, hopefully he has a hard time getting back into the side due to Meek and Darcy carving it up .

I’ve never even considered Meek a like for like replacement for Lobb but it could work. We definitely lose a bit of mobility although Meek moves surprisingly well for his size

Can Valente have his test already please????

Agree Enough already

 

[GingerDocker]

It's quite ironic that the name Valente, means "invisible man" in Latin...

Bit of info finally

And here is the actual injury list:

Bailey Banfield - Season
Brett Bewley - Test
Adam Cerra - 4-6 weeks
Mitch Crowden - 12-16 weeks
Sean Darcy - Test
Rory Lobb - Season
Griffin Logue - Season
Sam Sturt - Season
Luke Valente - Test
Michael Walters - 6-8 weeks

 

[Joose]

But its the Freo way y'know? Have an imbalanced list with a clear shortage in a certain area and then watch as early injuries deplete said area even further.

I will be gobsmacked if Taberner is not injured within the first couple of rounds.

This is bad list management. Full stop. As much as I like our players would it have been too hard to sacrifice one of our many mid-size troopers ( Crowden, Banfield, Colyer etc ) for an extra KPF or Ruck to improve to our depth?

Same dumb sh!t repeated every year is the definition of insanity.

 

[Taylor]

We changed the S&C team.

Seems the WC fans haven't got a clue
Sheppard admits fault in Banfield clash
Despite winning the free kick, Eagles defender Brad Sheppard has admitted he was in the wrong diving for the footy in an incident that has sidelined Fremantle’s Bailey Banfield.

In other news the sky is blue. I’ve got eagle supporting mates and employees who laugh at the eagles board and won’t go on there. Reckon they are deadset clueless.

Almost exactly a year ago this was our injury list....

Blake Acres	Hamstring	TBC
Jesse Hogan	Mental health	Indefinite
Joel Hamling	Ankle	10-12 weeks
David Mundy	Leg	TBC
Alex Pearce	Ankle	TBC
Darcy Tucker	Knee	Test
Nathan Wilson	Toe	4-5 weeks

And we were all freaking out about our backline getting pantsed with Hamling, Pearce and Wilson all out.

What eventuated was Luke Ryan becoming an All Australian and Brennan Cox

proving he wasn't far behind.

Perhaps some forwards will similarly grasp the opportunity presented with both hands this season.

 

[DeanS]

How ironic that The West is the one to confirm it.

Especially the headline. I would have expected something like-
"Shepherd Forgives Banfield. Asks For A Game Of Golf"

 

[Carnthedockers]

Does Logue come in and cox forward? Or stay as is and keep Treacy in? Can meek or darcy ruck the whole game?

 

[apuchar]

Either way Logue as soon as ready, for me.

These are the questions that keep me awake at night

 

[Monument Hills]

I'm expecting the brace to come off, the scan to be repeated, shows it's ok, training begins, soreness and fluid in the joint, minor knee procedure to tidy up the meniscus and grind off the bone.

Then four weeks on top of that. So six, plus two, plus four

yep after the bye most likely

 

[Carnthedockers]

Either way Logue as soon as ready, for me.

I agree. I rate him as highly as cox.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Tabs is not Reiwoldt though

Not with that attitude he isn't...

 

[Taylor]

He is a lot, lot cheaper than Nick Reiwoldt.

Yes, it is too simplistic to blame injuries. None of Meek, Lobb, Darcy or Taberner have played an injury free season to date.

Who knows? Maybe this year is the year!!! (Please I don't wanna go through that pain again)

 

[Joose]

We are going to start this season with only 2 fit KPF and 2 fit Rucks and 1 of each has yet to debut.

If JoLo can get the team into the 8 under these circumstances ( plus all the inevitable attrition during the season ) then he will deserve a statue down at Freo and I will personally knock over Bon Scott to make room for it.

 

[Joao]

The only good thing about our inevitable KPP injuries is that it lowers my expectations for the year which usually results in greater enjoyment.

No expectations on finals because without Lobb, Walters and Sturt we aint kicking consistent scores. Also Mitch for 6 is brutal.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Does anyone know if there’s any WAFL scratchies on this coming weekend? Will any of our lads play some minutes for Peel?

Think there’s match sims during this week with Peel guys making up the numbers.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Think it's time we just start throwing our weight around in these derbies. Sick of having eagles flogs 'accidentally' seriously injure our players.

Time to smash.

campaigners.
